Also included within the scope of this invention are the non-toxic cationic, e.g., the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this invention. Such salts include, for example, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, ammonium and substituted ammonium salts, e.g., procaine, N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine.

As one skilled in the art can readily appreciate, the compounds of this invention are sufficiently basic, by virtue of the imino or amino group in the amino acid moiety, to form acid addition salts; said salts, especially the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts, are also considered within the scope of this invention. Such salts include, for example, inorganic salts such as hydrochlorides and sulfates, and organic salts such as fumarates, malates and formates.

The penicillin derivatives of this invention are capable of existing in two optically active isomers, the D- and L-diastereoisomers, as well as the racemate, DL-mixture, since there is usually a center of asymmetry in the radical R.

The various forms as well as their mixtures are within the scope of this invention. Ordinarily, the penicillin derivatives derived from the D-form of the amino acid is more active than that derived from the L-form or the DL-form.

The above compounds are intended only to illustrate the variety of structures, and the above listing is not to be construed as limiting the scope of this invention.

PREPARATION

The preparation of the compounds of this invention involves coupling of an amino acid and a 6-(2-amino-2-arylacetamido) penicillanic acid by the reaction of the carboxy function of the amino acid with the amino function of the 6-(2-amino-2-arylacetamido)penicillanic acid to produce an amide linkage. The compounds of this invention can be prepared by the reaction of the amino acid with the appropriate 6-(2-amino-2-arylacetamido)penicillanic acid in the presence of a condensing agent, e.g., a carbodiimide such as 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Excess carbodiimide is converted to the corresponding urea by acidification, the pH is adjusted to near neutrality and the urea is removed by filtration. The products may be recovered by acidification or extraction.

Additionally, in order to realize the coupling, it is essential, first, that all reactive functionality not participating directly in the reaction be inactivated by appropriate blocking groups, and, secondly, that the carboxy or amino function which is to be coupled be appropriately activated to permit coupling to proceed.

These particular blocking groups which are employed as N-blocking groups are as described herein above.

In rendering the carboxy function active to the coupling reaction, the carboxy function is converted to an acid halide, acid azide, activated ester (e.g., p-nitrophenyl ester) or mixed carbonic anhydride. These acylating agents need not be isolated. It is frequently more convenient and practical to use them in the form of the solution, in which they are prepared.

The conversion of the amino acid or its N-substituted derivative to a mixed carbonic anhydride is effected by dissolving the amino acid or its N-substituted derivative in a ketone solvent containing a tri-(lower)alkylamine and treating the solution with an anhydride forming reagent, e.g., a lower alkyl chloroformate or an aryl chloroformate at a temperature of from 0° to -20° C. The compounds of this invention are obtained by reacting the mixed anhydride with the 6-(2-amino-2-arylacetamido)penicillanic acid at a temperature of about -50° to +50° C. Recovery of the product is effected by precipitation (after acidification of the reaction mixture) or by extraction into an organic solvent such as ethyl acetate, methyl isobutyl ketone or the like, from an acidified reaction mixture.

Further, the 6-(2-amino-2-arylacetamido)penicillanic acid can first be converted to a mono- or disilyl derivative by the reaction with a trialkylsilyl halide or trialkylsilylamine, which is then acylated with an appropriate acylating agent (a carboxylic acid, acid anhydride or acid halide) and hydrolyzed to remove the protecting group.

The N-blocking groups are cleaved in the presence of an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid or the like, to form the respective acid addition salt products. The cleavage can also be accomplished by hydrogenation in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium, Raney nickel, platinum or rhodium. In general, the hydrogenation is effected in a suitable solvent such as water, methanol, tetrahydrofuran, acetone, acetic acid or the like, at a temperature in the range of 0° to 60° C., and preferably at room temperature. The hydrogen pressure is not critical, and can be below or above atmosphere pressure.

The particular methods of coupling, blocking and cleavage employed in preparing the compounds of this invention are each now well recognized in the art. The conditions under which a particular coupling, blocking or cleavage reaction would be carried out will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

The amino acid derivatives of the 6-(2-amino-2-arylacetamido) penicillanic acids of this invention are of value as additives to materials such as fuels and cutting oils which are subject to bacterial deterioration.

They may be used as antibacterial agents, e.g., in cleaning or disinfecting compositions. They are also remarkably effective in treating a number of infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria including Esherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Proteus mirabillis, Proteus morganii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella typhimurium and Psudomonas aeruginosa, and Gram-positive bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, in poultry and animals, including man.

Moreover, some of the compounds of this invention are useful as intermediates in the preparation of the new penicillin derivatives of this invention.

As described above, the compounds of this invention exhibit antibacterial activity against many microorganisms. Their useful activity can be demonstrated by in vitro tests against various organisms.

The compounds of this invention were tested for antibacterial activity according to the following procedure.

Nutrient broth and nutrient agar were prepared according to the conventional procedure. Nutrient agar was used as a vehicle. The stock solution was prepared at 100 μg/ml of the test material in the vehicle. Two-fold dilutions were made with the vehicle and then the diluted stock solution was added to a petri dish and solidified by chilling. Test organisms were grown in the nutrient broth for 20 hours at 37° C. The hardened surface was inoculated with a loopful of the test organism solution containing 1 × 10⁶ cells per milliliter and incubated for 20 hours at 37° C. At the end of this period, growth of the organism was observed.

The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) at which growth of the organism failed to occur was observed and recorded. The following Table 1 summarizes the activity of representative compounds as active antibacterial agents, and compares them with the prior art compounds and the reference drug Sulbenicillin.

N-benzyloxycarbonyl-D-proline was prepared by the resolution of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-DL-proline as described in the literature (Helv. Chim. Acta, 49 1348 (1966)).

To a solution of 548 mg (2.2 m moles) of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-D-proline and 0.31 ml (2.2 m moles) of triethylamine in 10 ml of acetone, which was cooled to -10° C., there was added dropwise 0.29 ml (2.2 m moles) of isobutyl chloroformate. The mixture was stirred for 15 minutes at -10° C. and then cooled to -40° C. To this mixture was added a solution of 698 mg (2 m moles) of ampicillin, 0.28 ml (2 m moles) of triethylamine and 1 ml of water. The reaction mixture was gradually warmed to 0° C. and stirred for one hour at 0° C. To this reaction mixture, there was added a solution of 218 mg (2.6 m moles) of NaNCO₃ in 15 ml of water, and this was stirred for 1 hour at 0° C. The reaction solution was washed twice with 15 ml of ether, adjusted to pH 2.0 with 6N H₂ SO₄ and extracted successively with 45 ml of methyl isobutyl ketone (hereinafter referred to as MIBK) and 15 ml of MIBK. The MIBK layer was dried over MgSO₄ and adjusted to pH 7.0 with potassium 2-ethylhexanoate to precipitate an oily substance. The supernatant was removed by decantation, and the residue crystallized by addition of ether, filtered and dried to give 856 mg (67%) of potassium 6-[D-2-(N-benzyloxycarbonyl-D-prolyl)amino-2-phenylacetamido]penicillanate monohydrate, M.P. 168°-175° C.
